TO CONGRATULATE GAIL AND DAVID BARROW ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MANY MORE YEARS OF BLESSING AND FULFILLMENT.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Gail and David Barrow celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary on August 29, 2020; and
Whereas, few successes in life are greater than a marriage that endures the test of time and grows stronger with each passing year, for the long-lasting love and support of a spouse are unmatched in their importance and cannot be overestimated; and
Whereas, Gail and David met at Goose Creek High School in Goose Creek. They were married in Summerville on August 29, 1970; and
Whereas, David was stationed in Washington, D.C. at Fort Meyer, where he served with The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery during the Vietnam War. During this time he led the twenty-one gun salute for the fallen soldiers; and
Whereas, upon returning to South Carolina, David began a career teaching and coaching football, basketball, baseball, golf, and tennis at Goose Creek High School. As a couple, the pair were blessed with two daughters, Amanda in 1976, and Stacia in 1980; and
Whereas, David then moved on to work as the assistant principal for Beaufort for a season before accepting the position of assistant principal at Stratford High School when it was opened. As their daughters entered school, Gail returned to work at Westview Middle and Stratford High School. Both served as dedicated educators within Berkeley County until the time of their retirement; and
Whereas, both Gail and David have spent time active in their local church, teaching Sunday school and directing the choir. David continues to serve as a school board member for Berkeley County; and
Whereas, as a pair, the couple continues to love traveling throughout the world. Now the proud grandparents of six, they also enjoy entertaining their many friends and family at their home; and
Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the members of the House of Representatives express their felicitations to these two South Carolinians on reaching the milestone of their golden wedding anniversary. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Gail and David Barrow on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding anniversary and extend best wishes for many more years of blessing and fulfillment.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Gail and David Barrow.
